Night Court (TV Series) The Roz Affair (2024) User Reviews

This Episode Sucks

[jacobstaggs · 1/10 · 3 January 2024]

I recently wrote a review for the standalone Christmas Episode of the new Night Court which aired December 23. I thought that that episode was terrible. I marked it as a 1/10 but the review here on IMDB shows it as me awarding it a 10/10. Let me say it right here in my review: I am giving this premiere episode a 1 out of 10 in spite of what it may end up showing.

Flobert is once again the clerk, just like he was in the Christmas episode. Flobert should be at least one of two clerks for this new season. Kapil Talwalkar, who was Court Clerk Neil in season one, will not be appearing in this season. This is a big disappointment for me because he was my second favorite character. He is written out in a blink and you will miss it moment where it is mentioned that he moved to Tahoe with his girlfriend.

This episode, to me is a1/10 just like the Christmas one. Unless this season shapes up, I think that this might be the final season of the new Night Court.

I will be reviewing the next episode which airs January 9th. Stay tuned!

Going Nowhere Fast

I know this is only episode two of the second season but I feel as if the series is already on life support.

Every actor save John Larroquette seems to struggle to deliver their punchlines. Only Larroquette does so naturally, which makes his character more relatable and believable. The others are more like cartoon characters. When I watched the Christmas episode it appeared to me that de Beaufort had softened her frantic delivery, but here she is again with that style of speaking where words fly out of her mouth like a jackhammer and make it difficult to understand her. This is a comedy series. Maybe it's just me and my poor hearing, but unless it is Jim Carrey, if I can't understand something an actor says I'm probably not going to laugh at his/her jokes.

The exchanges between Dan and Roz were the only good parts of this episode. You could tell that the two actors were enjoying the reunion. Maybe if she sticks around, the two of them will be able to keep this series afloat for the rest of the season, but I'm not optimistic. I will be the one not sticking around to find out.

One star each for Dan and Roz.
